I don't actually want an EPS or C59... Wanted a C50 since they came out and it will do forever. And thanks for letting the cat out of the bag with the wheels
You mentioned them on a post earlier in the week on BRM.Rushton0 -

Got it for Christmas in 1986 when I was 11. Still ride it now. In fact I've been out on it today!

That's just made my blingometer go into the red.
Problem you'll now have is other cyclists queuing up to rip your legs off.0 -

In the immortal words of top cyclist 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air'
"It's time to cruise so you head to the summertime hangout
It looks like a bike show
Everybody come lookin real fine
Fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
Every moment frontin and maxin
Chillin on a bike they spent all day waxin
Leanin to the side but you can't speed through
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you"0 -

Have been giving thought to getting my C50 Mapeified tbh...0

Nice how the blue fades into the carbon and the graphics are smaller. The semicircles on the headset make me think of a wavefront being pushed from behindM.Rushton0

My mate has a 'Geo' Colnago Dream.
I've not seen one photograph that does that paint job the slightest little bit of justice. In the flesh it's STUNNING!
Colnago paintjobs truly are a thing of beauty.0 -
This has got to be up there with Lee's Time as one of the most stunning bikes on the forum. Congrats!Trying Is The First Step Towards Failure

Very very nice NapD. Must be about time you has something else by now?
It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.0 -
Very Very nice....
Hang on did you say this is your winter bike??!!!!

Suppose rust won't be an issue! Lovely looking bikes Nap0

Cheers chaps.0

Looks gorgeous NapD.
Was the tree planted especially to perform the task of bike stand?0 -
I like to think it was, which makes it the only present ever from my wife that I can use for cycling related purposes...0
-
Picked up some Record brakes. Will look smart with black calipers I feel...0
-
Cheers!
It was going to be my winter bike but I like it so much it's going to be my racer, I sold the other racer (Cervelo S2) and have this Litespeed with Sram Red as my winter bike...
And there was me thinking my Kuota with Shimano 105 was too good for winter. That's a hell of a nice winter bike!More problems but still living....0 -
I took one look at the Colnago, then a look at the Litespeed.
Oh God! I think I'm bikesexual!!!!!

Amuses me why people spend that amount of money on a bike just to pose around on.
Pointless.
Not impressing anyone.0
